Curious: Do the non-Laserlights have cornering lights?

Always wanted to ask:

Does anybody know if the LEDs on the 40i have cornering-lights?

Since we can't get the lasers on the non-M50i models, I was wondering what to expect...

Thanks!

I do believe so. My 19 50i does have cornering-light.

The only difference between laser and led, at least here in the state, is better high beam range with laser.

I wasn't sure because on the German ordering guide, cornering light was a feature listed under the optional lasers but not mentioned as standard equipment on the regular LEDs. Could be though that it's different in the U.S.

if you have cornering lights but not the lasers on yours, I guess that should answer the question.

IMO, the cornering light feature is more important in the U.S. than the restricted laser range.

I'm planning on ordering mine mid December (as it stands now, 40i) and although chances are slim, I'm still hoping for lasers on the 40i.

As you said, the blue inserts look sharp but I'm happy that the regular ones are still quite good and don't lack the cornering light.

As nice as the lasers are, I don't want to spend an extra $15K in order to get them (M50i)...

Yep, the regular LED is pretty good, better than Audi Matrix LED in my Q8. Mercedes LED has a slightly better range in high beam, but function wise they are all the same.

I picked up my 2021 40i a week ago, and have reread the Owner's Manual half a dozen times and I don't believe there are any cornering lights. I also have a '14 Cayenne S and the cornering lights on it are awesome!! A real added feature!!

Correct, it's unfortunate that only the Adaptive Full LED with Laserlight option has cornering lights which has only been available on the V8 X7s since launch.

I can't speak for the 2021 but my 2020 40i DOES NOT have cornering lights. I was told that you have to have laser and that's only available in the 50i.
